Probably parents with no imagination, I saw it happen to my friends. Boy I’m glad for my parents. My mom still maintains she believes in Santa Claus, even though her kids are are grown up. It was nice growing up in a home where imagination was valued.

Och – to me this has not happened because I’ve had the sense to hold my trap tight ’bout my imaginations. They suspected something coz on times I merely sat with glassy eyes (and sunken in whatever daydream my brain has delivered at that moment ^^) and teachers in subjects where writing was important have reported about summat stunningly gifted and imaginative – geez. Oh – besides – I’m still doing it. ^^Why the heck should I stop. Only coz I’m grown-up now? Nooo way. 🙂

….reaches out to hug Nicole.. I know hun, they take your dreams and tell you they are not real. Then they tell you to grow up, that there is no room for dreams in this world of reality. Remember them, dear girl, remember them now before they are gone forever.

Scott, you have made me cry at work, and on a Monday no less. I am not sure if I love you or hate, but please do not stop now.

Thanks all…
I actually goofed. There was supposed to be a page before this. With Nicole contemplating and such. Just letting it sink in.
But I accidentally skipped it. Ack.
But looking at the pages…we don’t seem to miss it. So…you guys just skipped ahead.
🙂

Scott, if you want to get technical, the SONG at #1 is from the 80s, but the recording is from the current decade (the pre-teens, as I like to call it). It’s from Colin Hay’s 2003 album “Man @ Work,” which is basically him doing covers of his old band’s song. Great album.

Elizabeth…
No. I think it works fine without the page. If I have second thoughts…I’ve already rendered the panels…so making the page wouldn’t be a big deal to put in if I think it flows better when putting Book 4 together.

RG…ha. Thanks.

SPlinky…
looking at it in Itunes now…you’re right. I should have researched it more…ha ha. Thanks.

Oh…the page that was supposed to be up today was a panel of Daniel staring at Nicole.
For about 3 panels. Then in the last panel she says “Oh…Oh God” as the realization hits her.
Basically I moved that all to the first two panels of today’s page and hadn’t reallized it.
So…it kind of makes the “missing page” useless.
🙂

I’d still like to see the missing panels. Not that I mind the faster-paced story, but it would be nice to have the build-up. The fixed number of daily panels must be an uncomfortable constraint sometimes. Meanwhile …

I’m guessing that Nicole was the victim of psychiatric treatments aimed at ‘curing her psychosis’.

Or, perhaps, that she had a token to enter Dreamland (just like the sword) and that her parents took that away because she was ‘obsessing’.

well, that could be true… but joey doesn’t have a trinket, does he? not that i could tell.. but i swear, if the dragon took away the little kitty felicity… i will do all i can to try to hunt that )(*&)_(*( dragon and kill his red tail… but i just as well wait for alex to do it… XD. continue the walk down memory lane NICOLE!!

You guys are probably correct, but “they” might not be her parents or other guardians. They could be Dreamland authorities who locked up Felicity. Just because no dungeon can hold her for long now doesn’t mean that that was always the case.

I am not sure I understand what you are ask about the music, as I can read and listen, as a matter of fact i am listening to it right now. I had to restart it when I went to the comments but that was not biggy

Great Scott, Scott! You are deliberately throwing a wrench in our thinking so we have no clear way to know what’s who’s fault. 😛 Reading the comments make waiting for each page even harder, I should really stop…

Here’s a reason to bring in the extra panels: Two pages ago, Nicole was still guarded about Daniel, even if she was almost ready to be playful. Now, with very little time to think, she’s telling him a secret whose meaning she hasn’t internalized. It doesn’t feel right. She needs a little time … and we need to see a little time … before she figures out how much she’ll tell him. Too much of who she is is out on the line.

Aww…she looks so sweet and vulnerable in that middle panel. That came out really well. And I’m going to take a stab and say that her parents made her go to therapy because she was convinced Dreamland was real. But we will see! =D Great page as always, Scott! And thanks for always being so diligent with updating. =)

Wow! I’m sorry I’ve missed out on the jukebox ’til now.
I love this version of Overkill, Silent Lucidity has always been a favorite of mine, and I haven’t heard either in ages. Amazing that they are so appropriate – I had forgotten the lyrics.
